of telescope

Attaching the red dot finder scope (#6) to the telescope tube (#1):

 

Bolts

First remove the two washers on the tube. Then place the finder scope

 

onto the two bolts and re-attach the washers securely. The finder scope

 

 

should face towards the open end of the tube (see arrow in diagram).

 

 

Turn on the beam using the switch on the side. (note: you may need to

 

 

remove the plastic insulation placed next to the battery underneath)

 

 

Insert the eyepiece: Remove the supplied 25mm eyepiece (#7) from

 

Switch

its container and slide it into the open end of eyepiece holder. Tighten

 

 

the thumbscrews to a firm feel only.

 

Eyepiece (#7) Remove the round dust cover lid from the end of telescope.

 

 

Use the focus knob to bring objects into focus. You may need to turn

 

 

the focus knob quite a few turns to focus your telescope for the first

 

 

time. Always start observing using a lower power eyepiece (such as the

 

 

25mm eyepiece) to get a wider field of view. Later on you can change

 

 

to higher powers. (Eyepieces of higher powers have narrower field of

 

 

views; it’s more difficult to locate objects using high-power eyepieces.)

 

Focus knob

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6. Connecting Hand Controller

 

 

Plug hand controller into any one of the HBX (handbox) ports on the

 

 

mount.

 

 

Turn on power. Now you are ready to observe. Use the 4 Arrow keys

 

 

(▲▼◄►) to rotate the scope Up, Down, Left, and Right. Use the

 

 

SPEED key to change the slew speed from the slowest (2X) to the

 

 

fastest (MAX).
